My fav character ever is Ryuuzaki Umi from MKR. I think I've been obsessed with idolizing her since the anime first came out. Ughhh wayyy back then when I was a wee kid. And that still stays until now. She's just . Her character development was what made me like her instantly. From a bratty rich girl, to one of the more mature character in the series. Augh! Umi Umi banzaiii!

And then came K-On! and I met Tainaka Ritsu. She's just like me, when I'm on crack. She's awesome and she plays drums, Ricchan has my love after not liking her for a period of time lol. I kinda not like her coz she resembles me...but not anymore...!

Last but not least, came Takamachi Nanoha from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. With her charming laugh and her pink ball of doom, she didn't appeal to me at first. But then she grew on me as I start to get into the series and fandom. She's a great person and without her, Fate wouldn't be the person she is now. The catgirl aka White Devil has become a favorite now!

She is! :) Kagura is a wonderful three-dimensional in a very mediocre series; she really made a strong impact on me. She's been my favorite animated character for almost 10 years now and nobody can replace her.

Since you mentioned Sailor Moon; which character do you find yourself roleplaying as the most?

Mai Hime - Midori Sugiura/Aswad: Two completely opposite personalities, but both fight for what they believe and make excellent leaders. I believe Sugiura breaks away from the character stereotypes and she's just all around likeable. As for Aswad... one word - badass. (Midori/Youko!)

Midori Sugiura is a bit of everything it seems. Leader, comedy relief, and bad ass. Aswad Midori goes above and beyond with the leadership; enough to inspire Mai-Otome's two main protagonists into becoming a stronger heroine (Arika) and leader (Mashiro).

:) Now for the real question! Why do you like Sailor Saturn? Hotaru Tomoe is generally consider the most overrated character. I disagree with her criticisms of being irrelevant and one-dimensional. What do you think? By the way, this is directly towards her anime incarnation.

Spoiler:

I disagree that she is overrated. Even though she is the senshi of silence and rebirth, those are typical associations with the planet Saturn (which also rules over her zodiac sign, Capricorn). She doesn't have enough screen time to develop and become as three dimensional as the other senshi, but that's inherent in her role. She's often times a child with little given time to mature like the others. She is not one dimensional, but she's very...how do I say this? She's very sickly and quite restrained by her father in her main season (Season 3).

I will have to argue that her place in the series isn't quite defined. The role I see her having is the mysterious senshi. Pluto is a bit mysterious herself, but I see her as the wise and mature guide out of the senshi. Saturn is more appropriately considered mysterious. After all, Pluto at least appears in a movie.

However, from what I have seen of her, her ability to heal probably made her feared by her peers, even rejected and hated. I see her as Chibi-usa's opposite; lonely, quiet, and everything that Chibi-usa is definitely not. Despite all this, the trait that keeps their friendship alive, and gives Saturn more life, is her kindness and relationship with Chibi-usa. Without Chibi-usa, it's hard to see Sailor Saturn as anything but one-dimensional. Most of her development is her friendship with Chibi-usa. Hotaru is very caring and protective of those she cares about, which is portrayed in her fight against Nehelenia when she's prepared to sacrifice her own life for Sailor Moon.

Something you must remember is that I haven't watched Sailor Moon in years, so my memory of Sailor Saturn is vague at most. I like her for the mystery that surrounds her character. Being the senshi of life and death must be difficult for Hotaru. If you want a more accurate opinion of Saturn, I'd have to watch the episodes she appears in, which I'd have no problem doing.

Berserk: Guts <only anime character to ever truly entertain me>Hellsing: Alucard. <Watching him go sickhouse on everyone is truly the only reason for me to watch the series>Rurouni Kenshin: Saito. <I got so sick of Kenshin's pacifist ways that seeing Saito come in and trash talk him and them felt so refreshing. Not to mention I had a huge grin on my face everytime he smacked Kenshin around>Mai HiME: Yuuichi. <This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows me here>Devil May Cry: Dante <He's basically Inuyasha only much better> Ninja Scroll: Jubei Kibagami <The toughest Ninja ever. Very tricky character and his final fight with Gemma is one of the best balls out non ki blast spam attack brawls ever to be animated and the fact that he both outlasts Gemma and is able to do enough physical damage to Gemma only proves how hardcore he truly is>

Oh Its True. Its DAMN True. I'd have to kick my own ass for not including the Hellsing Organization's Walking Transylvanian Murder Machine on my list of favorites. It truly is sad that he's being overlooked by some whiney Sheep Dog that has no right to call himself a vampire. Hell the Brood were more vamp than him

As someone special to me said, most of the planet is made up of teenagers who can't relate to Alucard, but they can easily fit in Bella Swan's shoes.

Still, I thought we immersed ourselves in fiction to forget about reality, rather than be reminded of reality? Different tastes.

Well its kind of hard for ANYONE to relate to a being that has been around for centuries, watched everything close to him be taken away from him, be a prisoner to a sick and depraved Sultan, sell his soul to the devil and become the unstoppable monster that hunts down all of the other monsters that his masters order, and despite all of that, his one true wish seems to be finding a strong enough opponent to finally be able to kill him and free him from the immortality that has become his prison.

While its much easier to fit into the shoes of a whiney, teenage, mary-sue who falls in love with her stalker boyfriend who is more golem than vampire anyways.

I know what you mean about diving into fiction to escape from the burdens of reality, I do it almost all the time after all.
